Go tell Aunt Rhody是一首廣受歡迎的兒歌,歌詞如下:
Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Aunt Rhody, Aunt Rhody,
That the ocean's wet,
And the sky is high,
And the green grass grows,
Wherever you may be.
Go tell Aunt Rhody
That the world is wide,
And the stars shine bright,
In the summer night.
So come with me,
And we'll take a stroll
Down to the ocean shore,
To see the ships come in,
To see the ships go out.
But when you get there,
Don't you go and stand
Right beside the water,
For you may never come back again.
